Wow, what a fascinating interview! Today I'm joined by Steven James who's the author of 24 nonfiction books and 18 novels that have sold over 1 million copies. He's also the host of The Story Blender podcast.

If so, here’s what to do-What writing 24 nonfiction books taught James that helped him write better novels-Should you write fiction or nonfiction first? Here’s how to decide…-Are storytellers born or made? Nature or nurture?-All stories have 4 elements; great stories have 2 additional elements...what are they?-How you should look at marketing differently as an author (and what James does to sell books)-How to market a new series vs. books in an existing seriesAnd so much more!
